Did you setup some window placement rules?

Here is part of the things that I am doing:

,----
| ;; Clear rules
| (clear-window-placement-rules)
| 
| (define-frame-preference "System"
|   ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
|   (0 t   t :title "htop")
|   (0 t   t :title "aumix")
|   )
| 
| (define-frame-preference "Default"
|   ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
|   (0 t   t :title "emacs")
| ;;  (0 t   t :class "Xpdf")
|   )
| 
| (define-frame-preference "Misc"
|   ;; frame raise lock (lock AND raise == jumpto)
|   (0 t   t :class "Firefox")
|   )
| 
| (run-commands "gnewbg System" "gnewbg Misc")
`----

The important thing is to find out the match properties for your applications.

I use show-window-properties to display them. I have bound it to the
root-map to make the command easy accessible:

(define-key *root-map* (kbd "I") "show-window-properties")
